Be Global: Employment law newsletter

Earlier this month, the European Commission voted to adopt the final version of the new EU/US data protection scheme, the Privacy Shield, which provides a mechanism for the valid transfer of personal data from the EU to the US. The scheme was approved simultaneously by the US Department of Commerce.

Following the vote in favour of Brexit on 23 June, there is uncertainty as to what comes next. Much will depend on what the government's Brexit strategy will be, how and when Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty is invoked to trigger the formal exit process, and how the EU approaches the negotiations with the UK. Organisations should, however, address the immediate after-effects of the referendum result and take steps to facilitate changes that may become necessary in the longer term. We propose 10 steps for employers to take now.
